Big Black Bird - Blitzen Trapper

Heave ho the captains call

The last glass eye that the gypsys stole

Half-breed boy just takin' a stroll

Through the tall brown grass as the river unfolds

Random clans gather on the strand

Shakin' out leaves and stompin' in the sand

Big black bird hangin' in the sky

Stern eyed brother with a rabbit in his eye heave ho

Heave Ho the captains call

The broke down boat sitting quiet in the shoal

Black eyed child rising silent from the coals

As the sun goes down and the night unfolds

Random clans gather on the strand

Shakin' out leaves and stompin' in the sand

Big black bird hangin' in the sky

A stern eyed brother with a rabbit in his eye

(Heave ho, heave ho)

Round and round and round it goes

Big black bird just spinnin' in the coals

Round and round and round it goes

Where it’s gonna stop ain’t no body knows naw

(Ooooh oooooh)

Round and round and round it goes

Big black bird just spinnin' in the coals

Round and round and round it goes

Where it’s gonna stop ain’t no body know

Round and round and round it goes

Big black bird just spinnin' in the coals

Round and round and round it goes

Where it’s gonna stop ain’t no body knows naw

Round and round and round it goes

Big black bird just spinnin' in the coals yeah
